The Brandywine Conservancy has partnered with the PA Equine Council, along with Natural Lands and Willistown Conservation Trust, to offer two Trail Stewardship Workshops in Chester County during October.

The one-day workshops will provide an opportunity for the community to learn about sustainable trail layout, construction, maintenance, tool selection and use.

Presented by Gwen and Bud Wills from the PA Equine Council, the workshop is geared primarily towards equestrian trail users, however, many of the concepts taught are also applicable for other trail enthusiasts, including hikers, bikers and cross-country skiers.

The workshop will begin with a presentation in the morning, followed by a hands-on session in the afternoon where participants can implement and practice what they learned.

Interested participants can choose from two workshop locations:

-- October 25: Private property at 6 Castlebar Lane, Malvern. 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Check-in begins at 8 a.m.; and

-- October 26: Natural Lands’ ChesLen Preserve, 1199 Cannery Road, Coatesville. 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Check-in begins at 8 a.m.

Tickets are $15 per person; advance registration is required. Coffee, donuts, snacks and a light lunch will be provided. Tickets can be purchased online.
